In a conversation with SSPI's Robert Bell, Sir Martin Sweeting, Founder and Executive Chairman of Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. (SSTL), talks about his early years,  the leadership lessons he learned, how he hires and what he has learned about leading a team bringing major innovations to market. Sir Martin launched SSTL in 1985 to exploit the commercial potential of Surrey's novel small satellites - initially with 4 employees and a capital of just £100. SSTL has grown now to 500 staff with an annual turnover of £100M and exports exceeding £700M. Sir Martin is also a Distinguished Professor at the University of Surrey, where he founded and chairs the Surrey Space Centre. Under Sir Martin’s guidance, the Surrey Space Centre has similarly expanded to around 100 researchers working across a wide range of multi-disciplinary space topics, with very close links to both SSTL and ASTRIUM for the sponsorship and exploitation of its research - demonstrating the real synergy of academic research and commercial exploitation. In recognition of his pioneering work on cost-effective spacecraft engineering, Sir Martin was appointed OBE in 1996 and awarded a Knighthood in the Queen's New Year’s Honours list in 2002.

Mr. Steve Collar was appointed CEO of SES in April 2018. He had been the CEO of SES Networks since May 2017. Prior to SES Networks, Mr. Collar was CEO of O3b Networks and guided the company through the successful build and launch of its constellation of state-of-the-art satellites. In 2015, O3b Networks became the fastest growing satellite operator in history. In 2016, O3b was fully acquired by SES and now forms an integral part of SES Networks. Mr. Collar is a satellite industry veteran, having previously worked in a variety of commercial, business development and technical roles at SES WORLD SKIES, New Skies Satellites, Astrium and Matra Marconi Space (now Airbus).

Space Boffins Sue Nelson and Richard Hollingham dodge space harpoons, discuss whether Mars One will encourage Big Brother in space and report from the Mojave desert on why risk is encouraged at its spaceport. Recorded on location at Astrium, Europe's largest space company, engineer Katherine Bennell and space scientist Ralph Cordey join the Space Boffins to demonstrate how to remove space junk with a flying harpoon. Interview guests include Mars One's Bas Lansdorp, as well as the CEO of the Mojave Air and Space port Stuart Witt, plus David Masten, founder of Masten Space Systems. ... Like this podcast?

AUDIO: MATT WALLACE, MSL FLIGHT SAFETY MANAGER, NASA'S JET PROPULSION LABORATORY speaks at the Society for this Space Group Lecture. Thanks to Astrium for supporting the event and to the Space Group for organising the lecture.

Two pioneers in the field of gene therapy join us to discuss how they're developing modified viruses to deliver healthy copies of genes to save patients afflicted by lethal genetic diseases. We also hear how energy can be harvested from footsteps and heartbeats to power nanodevices, and how a new SWARM of satellites is about to be deployed to study the Earth's magnetic field from space. Plus, in the news, how "ums" and "ahs" can boost a baby's learning power, how mankind talked his way out of Africa and how scientists are recreating schizophrenia in a Petri dish...
